True D
True D is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Sour Kosher. As a cultivar, it represents a selective breeding effort to stabilize the traits of its parentage, resulting in a plant that requires moderate skill to cultivate successfully. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments and offers growers a high yield after a flowering period of 63 days.
The chemical expression of True D is defined by a terpene profile led by myrcene, followed by secondary caryophyllene and tertiary limonene. This specific arrangement of terpenes dictates its sensory profile, grounding the experience in the earthy, musky presence of myrcene before transitioning into the spicy, pungent notes of caryophyllene and the bright, citrus-forward finish provided by limonene.
True D is a THC-dominant strain recognized for delivering effects that are primarily relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for users seeking relief from stress and pain, or support for sleep. Its genetic legacy is clearly observable through its notable offspring, including Headband and Kosher D.OG, which continue to carry the influential traits of the True D lineage forward.
